I don't know how many on here are from the Peoria area, but there's a new 15U traveling team being formed by Illinois Central College coach Brett Kelley.
Tryouts are Oct. 15 from 2-4 p.m. and there is a $25 tryout fee. The tryout will be run as a pro-style showcase and Coach Kelley plans on keeping 12 or 15 players total. Players must be 15 before April 30, 2007.
All are welcome.
The plan is for Brett to take these kids from a 15U team to a 16U team to a 17U team. He will stay at the 17U level and new coaches will be selected for the 15U and 16U teams. It should be a big jumpstart for baseball in Central Illinois.
If you have any questions, contact me (BDiggle74@yahoo.com) or Brett (bkelley@icc.edu).
